The party was held inside the house and was officially opened at six o'clock in the evening. The celebrant's relatives were also invited. Uno and I were introduced to them. They found him adorable. They believed that Uno looked like Jonas.
"Honey, have some shot," Jacob offered her a shot glass.
It was already late in the evening. After the dinner, we had some conversation then the guests went home after that. Uno was already asleep even before the invitees went home.
Jacob already had three shots. He started the fun and now he's kind of tipsy.
"I don't drink, Jacob," Honey refused as she waved her hands dismissively.
"You still don't drink? My god, Honey!"
They laughed at Jacob's statement but Honey seemed fine. It seemed like she got used in being tease

The following morning, I woke up early. When I went down the stairs, I saw Tessa busy with her stuff. She was holding a sako bag, the one that Manang usually used when going to the market."Where are you heading to?" I asked her."I'm going to the market, ate. You wanna go with me?""Uhm," I was having a doubt. I wasn't used to going places like public market. I didn't like dirty places."You're probably not used to that kind of place," she said and continued what she was doing."I'm going with you," I declared.She looked at me strangely. "Okay." She shrugged.I went back to the room to check Uno. He was sleeping peacefully. I texted Jonas I was going to the market with Tessa. He hadn't replied yet so I decided to go down the stairs."Let's go?" I said to her."Sure."So, we went to the market. I was watc

"Lihiro naman mu inom," Lola Helena commented as she was watching Uno drink from the glass. "Tiguwang naman na, dong." (He seemed expert in drinking water. He's getting older.""Lagi, Ma. Dali ra man ag adlaw." "I agree, Ma. Time flies so fast.)"Unja? Muuli namo ugma?" (So, you're going back to Manila tomorrow?)"Oh. Naa nama'y ticket." (Yes, Ma. We already have our ticket.)"Kanus a man mo mubalik?" (When will you come back again?)"Wa pay sure, Ma. Naa man koy trabaho." (We aren't sure Ma. I still have work to finish.)"Sija diay? Wa pa diay nay trabaho?" (What about your wife? Does she have plan on working again?)"Sugot man sija nga mag-work. Baylo mi." (She agreed she will go back to work. We're changing position.)"Ikaw bantay ug bata?" (You wi

Later that afternoon, Jonas and I went out to buy some snacks. We left Uno to Tessa and Lola Helena for the mean time. Jonas wanted me to explore Sogod so he brought me with him."I can't believe tha mall and the market are just in one place," I said while rooming my eyes around."When I was a kid, I used to spend my time here," he said. He reached for my hand and intertwined it with his. "Whenever I am hungry in the afternoon, this is where I usually go—here in Manang Rosa's place. She had a cafeteria before. Me and my friends loved to eat there.""Is Honey your childhood bestfriend?"He peered at my side and nodded. "We met here.""What made you like her?""She's so simple, smart and fun. She's kind too and hardworking.""Ah," I nodded and looked around again. "I wonder if you two didn't break up, you think you guys have built your own family now?"

"I'm not mad at anyone. I'm mad at what happened," I said for the nth time.I took Uno upstairs and planned to put him to sleep. Jonas followed us. When Uno and I arrived inside our room, I breastfed him."Who won't get mad at what happened?" I added.Jonas was just silent (as always when I got mad). Good thing I wasn't looking at him. I was staring at Uno who was sleeping already."Let's just go home, Joe. I can't take it anymore," I confessed. "We won't survive here.""Sorry..." was the only word he could utter."I don't know if they are malicious or it's just their nature."I was really mad at what happened. Uno's life was at risk. It was fine with me if they didn't like me. How can they be so immature for targetting Uno as well?"I'm not letting anyone hurt my baby," I said in gritted teetg.I studied Uno's bare face.

I washed all the dishes. It was my first time to do iy so. The soap was too harsh for my skin but it was full of bubbles. It was a yellow-colored liquid dishwashing soap."Love, I think Uno pooped-"I whirled around. Jonas immediately met my eyes. He was carrying Uno in his arms, paharap sa'kin. He looked surprised upon seeing me like this."I'll just finish this love. Does he smell awful already?" I responded."Yes, love. But, I think I'll be the one to do it.""Can you do it?""Yes, love." He smiled sweetly. Seconds passed when he brought Uno back to our room again.After washing the dishes, I cleaned the entire sink. That was what Manang usually did after washing the dishes.I realized how hardworking our helpers were and how patient they were. I thought it was a common household chore but when I did it myself, it was pretty hard. Back

"Sorry, Mommy. I was just so busy," I said apologetically.It was eleven in the evening and we were preparing to sleep. Jonas told me to call Mommy so she wouldn't worry about me. Both Jonas and Uno were still awake but the people inside here had fallen asleep already."Is everything fine there?" She asked worriedly. Her eyes told me she knew what was going on."We're good, Mommy. We'll be going back tomorrow.""You've got a lot of stuff to share to Mommy."I smiled bitterly. I was so lucky to have a mother like her. She was my living diary, literally sharing almost everything to her. I wouldn't be like this if it wasn't because of her."Sure, Mommy. I miss you so much.""I miss you too, honey. We'll meet soon.""I badly want it to happen. I love you, Mommy.""I love you too, sweetheart. It's time to rest now. You have to wake up early tomorrow. Where is Uno by the way? Is he still wide awake?""Yes, Mommy. He sle

"When Honey and I got together, we promised to each other that we will build a happy family and we won't let anyone destroy us. It's funny to think that she destroyed us first," he told me.I looked up ay him. He was looking down, probably shedding some tears. He didn't want me to see his weak side. It was, as if, an ego-stepping."When she left, it was hard for me to recover... I was back to zero again. Then I realized she was like my mother. But I didn't blame her for choosing her dreams over me. If I was her, I'd do the same.""Did you regret anything?" I asked in a manner that he would not feel offended."None," he looked up at me. His eyes were wet but they were happy. "I didn't regret anything because I met you and we have Uno now."I fell silent, too overwhelmed by his answer."What about your father? Where is he now?" I asked when I recovered."He'

10:05 in the morning when we landed on NAIA terminal 3. Manong fetched us and brought us home immediately. Uno fell asleep when we got home so I put him on his crib while Jonas carried our luggage up to our room."Have some rest, love. Uno is still sleeping," Jonas said while he was changing his clothes."What about you? Will you report to the office immediately?""Yes, love. I'll check what I've missed in the office.""Okay, love. Take care."Jonas went to me, eyes on me. He leaned closer, fixed my hair and kissed my forehead."I'll be right back. Should I buy you something?""No need, love. You won't go home late, will you?"He shook his head lightly. "I'll go home immediately. You sure you don't need anything?"I nodded. He smiled again and kissed my forehead."I love you," he whispered."I love you too."He held my chin and leaned closer. He captured my lips and I quickly melted. I lied down on b

Someone knocked on the door, stopping our moment. I heard a little voice and that's when I realized we left Uno downstairs."Mama?" He called.Jonas and I looked at eacher. We both laughed upon realizing Uno was outside the room. I pulled away from him and marched the way out. I opened the door for Uno."Mama, what's taking you so long?" He asked innocently."Sorry, Uno. I almost forgot you.""Can we sleep now, Mama?""We haven't taken our dinner yet, Uno. Are you sleepy already?""Yes, Mama. Can I sleep beside you and Papa?"I glanced at Jonas. He nodded. I turned to Uno again."Of course, Uno. Mama will just change, okay?""Okay, Mama. Please hurry up."I chuckled. "Sure, Uno."I changed my clothes quickly. After that, I lied next to my little family."Mama," Uno called. He was between me and Jonas."Yes, Uno?""I don't have siblings, Mama?""You want one?""Uh-hu

"I'm home!" I declared excitedly and went inside the house. I looked after Jonas and Uno. I saw them both in the living room while studying. Jonas was teaching his son to read.Uno looked up at me and smiled widely. "Mama!" He called and ran towards me. I lowered my hips so he could reach me."I miss you, baby!" I kissed his cheek."Look, Mama! Papa teaches me how to read!""Oh, that's nice, Uno."I rose to my feet. Jonas welcomed me and kissed me on my cheek as well.I decided to give Jonas another chance to be part of our lives and to give myself another chance to be his partner. Now, we were happy again. Uno was happy to be with his father."Hi, love," I greeted."Are you hungry?""Not much, love. Have you eaten already?""Yup. Before we study.""Okay. I'll just go upstairs to change my clothes.""Can I join?""Huh?"He chuckled. "Alright. You go up now.""Wanna come with me?"

"How are you?" He asked me the moment he started driving."I'm fine. How about you?" I casually answered and asked him the same question."I'm all good. Kinda busy.""Same. Tomorrow we will start the renovation of our restaurant.""I heard that from Baste. You hired Thrante to be your engineer.""You heard it right. Yet, this is a business deal and money is involved."""Our restaurant", what do you mean?""Vince is with me, Joe. We're partners.""Vince what?" He glanced at me."Vince Vega. You know him?""Yeah... the chef?""Yes," I confirmed.Silence followed. I glanced outside the window, wondering where he was taking me."Where are we going?" I asked, roaming my eyes outside the car."Anywhere."I peered at his side, "W

We bid our goodbyes to each other after that. Thrante went home to Taguig while I went home to where I originally lived. When I arrived inside the house, I saw Uno singing his ABCD. I went to him and hugged him."How's your study, Uno?" I asked and knelt in front of him.Mommy started tutoring him at the age of three. I reasoned our Uno was still so young to start learning but she insisted. She argued I was three years old when I first learned the ABCD. She believed Uno was smart he could learn easily."I'm fine, Mama. ABCD is fun!" He smiled widely, revealing his complete teeth."Really?" I mirrored his smile because it was contagious. "Can I have a kiss?"He hugged my neck, "Muah!" He planted a long kiss on my cheeks. "Let's eat, Mama!"I pulled away, holding both of his arms."What do you want me to cook?""Pasta! Yehey!"

"We can start the renovation tomorrow," Thrante told me as she checked my blueprint."Thank you, Engineer Marcado," I smiled to her."Congratulations," she shook her hand with mine.After four years of studying culinary arts, finally I had the time to renovate our property here in Manila. Mommy gave this to me as her gift while Dad gave me a brand new car."Coffee after this?" I offered."Sure!" She agreed happily.We went to our favorite coffee shop—not the usual coffee shop where my friends and I went. Thrante and I had our own favorite coffee shop."So, how's life lately?" She started, grinning happily. We already ordered our coffee."I'm so excited to this new restaurant, caz. Like I can't believe this is actually happening!" I clapped in excitement.Eversince I started schooling, I had dreamt this day to happen. I did my best in school and now I finally finished it. And not just that, I would be having a resta

When the call ended, I hoped things would get better for both of us. I sighed heavily as I felt lonely. I missed him in my arms.The truth was, I didn't like this set up. I could not hug him. I could not feel him on my skin. We had a schedule of our talk and we often times talked about Lola Helena. That became the cycle of our lives.But for him I would endure this feeling of wanting him to stay by my side. I knew he was struggling too. He surely didn't like this set up. I had to adjust and understand because he too had needs but he was holding back himself. He endured the loneliness and pain.I brought down my phone on the bedside table. I crawled on bed and lied next to Uno. He now slept next to me so that whenever he would wake up, I didn't need to get up and get him. It would be easy for me to breastfeed him if he would sleep next to me.The following morning, I woke up when I heard a loud bang on the

I went home and saw Jonas standing near the window of our room. He was holding a mug, probably it was his favorite coffee."Love?" I called and walked inside. He spun around and looked straight at me. He gave me a small smile after. "I'm home."He brought down his mug on the bedside table and spread his arms wide. I did the same thing and let him engulf me around his arms."I miss you," I whispered.I clung my arms around his neck and placed the side of my face on his chest. He smelled like a blooming flower in the garden. Favorite fabcon niya 'yong luxe perfume.His chest moved as he breathed sharply, his body tensed. I tucked my head just below his chin and glided my body against his."Love, you know that I am here for you. You don't have to solo your battles," I told him.I knew it was strange for him to open up his heart to someone. He lived h

Manang told me to go upstairs already. She will be the one to finish cleaning the sink. I should be resting now and be with my little family.I was careful not to create any unnecessart noise. I silently opened the door and peaked inside. I saw Jonas and Uno sleeping peacefully on our bed. I smiled and locked the door.I watched them two. It was peaceful to see them like that. My heart was happy.When Uno turned eight months, I trained him to walk. He could stand up on his own but he needed something to hold on to."Come to Mama, Uno!" I played with him.The edge of the sofa was supporting his back. His arms were spread wide, trying to balance while learning how to walk too. He could stand but he was afraid to step forward."You can do it, baby! Come on!"I clapped my hands. He giggled and lost his balance. I was quick to catch him."Come!" I encouraged him.Everyday I was practicing him to walk. I reached out to him his

"I'm planning to study abroad, Mommy. What do you think?"I wanted to consider studying abroad where I could learn a lot. I was thinking of France since I loved its culture."That's good, honey. It will be better if you will study abroad.""I'll take Uno with me.""What about Jonas? Do you think he will permit you?""I... don't know," I shrugged.I hadn't discussed this to Jonas yet. What I knew was he would support my decision to study culinary arts."It's only four years, Ma. By that time, Uno will be four years also.""You have to discuss this to Jonas first, honey. I don't have any problem if you really want to study abroad. You can take Uno with you but think about Jonas too.""Then I will take him with us, Mommy.""For four years?""He will take care of Uno while I am busy studying.""Where will you get your source of income? If Jonas will stop working, what will happen to Uno?"I
